If you’re a yarn shop owner and you’re complaining about the cold, bite your tongue. Folks keep coming into the shop asking my transplanted Southern ASCII if I’m surviving the cold. Uh… yeah! I sell wool. My business is booming!

As a matter of fact, as I was setting up Movable Type this morning at 3:00am, I pulled a screenshot of my desktop.

Yes, there is a minus sign in front of that 7. Yes, it really is minus 7 in Lansing. And we’re not nearly as cold as folks on the other side of the lake… or Lakes. And just a few weeks ago we were having record highs for January. Congratulations to everyone who’s managed not to catch a cold. To everyone else, bless you.
